Snowflake Close up

Here is a set of microscopic images of snowflakes. The first one looks like some amalgamation of greek architecture and a coral reef. Be sure to pay attention to the scale shown in the bottom right of the images. A micrometer (μm) is 1.0 times 10^-6 of a meter, or one millionth of a meter, or one thousandth of a millimeter.
